Pet care experience

Ex-NHS sister w/ 9yrs petcare exp!

I have kept dogs as a child and have been walking and boarding since October 2017. I have experience with small to large breeds and welcome males and females. I have many returners and provide a home-from-home experience. Boarders are taken for walks in my local parks in Solihull, which are tracked and photographed. I am a mature professional with grown up twins, who live away from home. This is my only job, so I am able to dedicate all of my time to your doggie whilst in my care. I enjoy walking and usually do 2-3km on one walk. I have worked as a senior manager and nurse in the NHS and enjoy meeting new pet owners.

Doggy Day Care • May 17, 2026

Joy is an absolute gem! Our pup took to her instantly and was so well cared for… so much so that he didn’t want to leave! She kept his routine, sent regular photo updates, and handled last-minute changes without any fuss. Her communication was excellent and he came home happy, stimulated, and utterly content. We’ll 100% be booking again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joy to anyone looking for great care for their pet! She and her family are also just really lovely.

Thank you, Joy, for looking after Kushi on such short notice. Joy was lovely, communication was fast and easy throughout, and I would definitely use her services again. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their dog.

I adore boarding and have boarded and walked a range of small to large sized dogs from Pugs to Boxers. I am happy to administer oral and subcutaneous injections (insulin) if needed!
